According to London Nature, recent
observations establish the fact that true
pneumonia Is due not to the acciden' al
penetration Of specific microbes into the
system, as is usually supposed, but to
the development under favorable condi-
tions of microbic germs permanently
present in the system. A chief condi-
ton of such development is sudden
chill, which explains the frequent coin
cidence of lung affection with abrupt
changes of temperature.
In recent lecture, Prof. William
Turner Of f linburgh University gave
the speed of the Greenland whale as
nine or ten miles an hour, and that Of
the great finner whale rs probably twelve
miles. One of the latter animals was
stranded on British coast soma years
ago, and was found to have q length of
eighty feet, a weight of seventy -four
tons, and width of tail of eighteen to
twenty feet. With these data, the
builder of the Anchor Line steamships
calculated that, in order to attain n
spcel of twelve miles an hour this
whale must have exercised a propelling
force of 145-horse power.

OF COURSE HE WOULD RESIGN,

It is said that when Mr..
Blaine heard that Senator Dawes
had been reelected by the Mas.
sachusetts Legislature by the aid OF Dem
ocratic votes, he stated SENATOR Dawes
cannot afford to accept his election under
such circumstances. II I we're in his place
I would resign and let another election
take place."
There can be no doubt about this. Mr..
Blaine mover wanted an Office 90 much a.
to be willing to get it by means OF Demo-
cratic votes. He exhibited the stuff that
he was made OF in 1884, when he
based his hopes OF election to the
presidency upon the bolt Of a large
section OF the Democratic party in New
York state. He himself has estimated that
he received on that occasion not less than
seventy-ive thousand Democratic votes.
II he hal been elected by this means he
would have resigned, Of course. His only
object in getting these votes was to see
what he could do in that line il he tried.
He did not want to be elected to anything
by them.
As luck would have it there were not
quite enough Democrats in Mr.. Blaine's
train in that memorable battle, and 90
the country lost the spectacle Of seeing a
President-elect declining the Office on the
ground that it had not bsen rendered him
Republicans. But he would have done
It; there is no doubt about that. That's
The kind Of a man Blaine il.

Popularity OF Lawn Tennis.

There was a time when no front ward a
dozen feet square was complete without a
croquet set. The very children played it on
the commons as they might cricket or base
ball. Lawn tennis seems to be achieving much
the same favor, for a positive craze for it has
developed this summer. 1t has become so
popular that it is no longer fashionable, and
our aristocrats are on the lookout for some
thing to replace it. Meanwhile every other
lawn you pass displays a tennis court, the
boundaries lined off with whitewash on the
grass n the net making a fence for the birds
to perch on when, as rarely happens from
dawn.to dark, it is not in use. Nor is it the
shady lawn lone that is consecrated to the
prevailing mania. You will find players
melting away IN the unsheltered seashore,
and believing the parched grass of the noun
tain as they dance madly about with the
bounding and eccentric ball. The girls all do
themselves justice at tennis. Even the ugly
ones become picturesque in action. But of
all the doleful and narrowing sights I know is
the sweat-streaming dude, hopping to and fro
at a rate that threatens to snap his pipestems,
and putting on an air of ecstasy that thinly
masks his anguish and despair. No one will
ever envy a dude his rank in life after seeing |
him at lawn tennis in the dog days. He pays /
q terrific price for his distinction.-Alfred |
Tumble in The New York News.

THE VARIETY BILL.

The history Of the Variety bill still before
the House 10 q rather singular one and eyi.
dsncss the fact that legislative bodies, like
comets, are sometimes cratic in their
orbits. The bill Vas introduced by Mr..
White, Of Deer Lodge, early in the session.
1t struck at variety theaters alone. The
bill took it's natural course by being referred
toths Committee on Education and Labor.
This committee is composed Of Hanscom,
OF Silver Bow, chairman: Brown, of Bea-
vsrhead; Anderson. Of Gallatin; White, Of
Dser Lodge, and Gorham, OF Lewis and
Clark. Alter remaining in the hands OF the
committee several days a substitute for the
bill was reported, which provided that in.
toxicating liquors should not be sold in
buildings where dancing was engaged in.
The measure then took it's place on the
calendar. When it was reached the House
resolved itself into a Committee OF the
Whole for the purpose OF considering it.
For the information OF those who do not
understand what is meant by "Committee
OF the Whole" We will state that it is q
committee composed OF all the members oil
the House OF OF the Council az the case
may b. Az stated tho House in Commit.
tee OF the Whole took the hill under con.
sidsration and tackled on several amend.
msnts. These not only prohibited the sale
OF intoxicating liquors in variety theaters
and in buildings where public dancing il
carried on, but also in any room or place
whore games OF hazard are played, or
where women or minors are employed. or
whore they assemble for the purpose of the
business therein carried on, or place.

PREDICTIONS.

All tho ante-eleetion predictions Of tn
Republican newspapers Of the TsrTitory
have failed Of fulhllmens. They declared
that 90 soon As the election was owe,
Sparks would stop miners, mill men and
ranchers from cutting timber upon the
public domain in Montana; that nothing
would prevent . hegira from this fair Ter
ritory and keep the grass from growing in
tho streets OF our towns and cities and
upoa our public highways but the election
OF Colonel Sanders-ths only man who
could and would, by his ~eloqusnce and
manly courage, intimidats the President
and shame Sparks into giving the people
their hsavsn-born rights, ETC.. ETC.: that
unless Sanders were elected the silver in
terests OF Butte would be destroyed and
the Territory would 80 to the ''demnition
bow wows"; that il the people would elect
him his clarion voice would be raised in the
halls OF Congress against the restrictive
act and that body, from the sheer force of
his magnificent presence and burning words,
would be compelled to repeal that 'odious
act" and free q down-trodden constituency
from q v~assalage worse than Russian
slavery.
Sanders wasn't elected by q large major
ity. Our miners, smelling men, mill men
and ranchers are still cutting what timber
they want upon the public domain; our
silver interests were never moro prosperous
and the market value OF that metal il
approaching; the restrictive act
is found to b a beneficial measure, and a
Republican Council refuses to pass q me-
mortal praying Congress to repeal it.
Could the ante-election declarations of our
Republican Territorial contemporaries bs
more fatty contradicted? No. Time veri-
dss the wisdom Of the Democracy Of the
country.

A Good Story.

IA country parson,' in ~encountering a
storm the past season in the voyage across
the Atlantic, was reminded OF the follow.
ing:
A clergyman was SO unfortunate as to
be caught in a severe gale in the voyag out.
The water was exceedingly rough and the
ship persistently buried her nose in the
sea. Thu rolling was constant, and at last
the man got thoroughly frightened. He be-
lleved they were destined for a watery
grave. He asked the captain if he
could not have prayers. The captain
took him by the arm and led him down to
the %forecastle where the tars were singing
and swearing. There" said he, when
you hear them singing and swearing YOU
know there is no danger"
II went back feeling better, but the storm
his alarm. Disconsolate and un-
assisted. he managed to stagger to the
f%orecastle again. The ancient mariners

VALUABLE PROPERTY.
A Mine That Is . Steady Bullion Pro.
Queer Looking Well.

~AAo VVOAAs
From Mr.. J. X. Clark, who, accompanied
by Mr.. j. B. Cleveland, returned last
Wednesday from q trip to the Pyrenees
mine at Georgetown, is learned the follow
ing in regard to that property:
The 2OO-foot west level has just been
driven through an ore chute 100 feet in
length, and OF an average width OF from
three to eight feet. The ore assays $50 q
ton in gold. At present the 1O-stamp mill
Of the company is running in this orc, saw.
ing from SIS to $50 . ton On tho plates.
The tailinss are run over Frue MANNERS
from the mill, and the concentrates show
about 500 to the ton. The company ars
also driving the 2OO-foot east drift and
are in 40 feet. This drift has already cut
an ore chute about 60 feet in length. The
ore assays from $40 to $50 in gold, but is
heavy in iron, and will give better returns
by smelling than by milling. None OF it is
being worked at the mill. This drift will be
continued until it cuts q chute that b
very rich on the 1O0-foot level, which will
require driving about 100 feet further,
Without drawing on the rich ore, CARRYING
iron, there il enough in sight to run ten
stamps twelve months.
Everything at the mine and mill was
found in satisfactory condition, and with
sufficient wood and other supplies on hand
to last during the winter. While at the
mine these gentlemen were the guests Of
Superintendent G. HI. Moore and Mrs
Moore, and return thanks for the hosnit.I.
ity and many acts OF kindness shown
them.
